Selecting a private or open network
A private service network consists of the HMC and the managed systems. A private service network is restricted to consoles and the systems they manage, and is separate from your company network. An open network consists of your private service network and your company network. An open network might contain network endpoints in addition to consoles and managed systems, and might span across multiple subnets and network devices.
To select a private or public network, do the following:
- In the navigation area, click HMC Management.
- Click Change network settings.
- Click the LAN Adapters tab.
- Select the LAN adapter that you want to work with and click Details.
- Click the Lan Adapter tab.
- In the Local area network information page, select Private or Open.
- Click OK.
